Some might find Imbolc to be a Sabbat which is easy to
skip-over, but those who really grasp what Imbolc is about find it
to be one of the most powerful. As with Yule and Samhain
having their corresponding Yuletide and Samhaintide to mark the
days and other celebrations surrounding them, it would not be wrong
to speak of Imbolctide for all of the related celebrations.

From ancient Pagan celebrations to Christian holidays and even to
the American folklore celebration of Groundhog Day, All of the
celebrations tie in together with a basic fact which can give us
much encouragement.

Regardless of deity or denomination, Imbolc offers us something
special!
